Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My scholars are the most resilient individuals I know. While they fall into the impoverished and "at-risk" demographic, they are eager to learn and eat up new knowledge as enthusiastically as they do their free lunches. The school is growing at a high rate, which is great news for the school, but it means that we have new classrooms each year with more needs!
I love the diversity of our students and how they think, learn, grow, and even feel safe differently in our classroom.
My Project
I am partnering with my class's student council representative in his commitment to increasing student-chosen books in our classroom library! In his words, "We have a LOT of history books, and not a lot of 'fun' books!" These are book titles and authors that my students have chosen - books I believe will both build their reading skills and increase their joy in reading.
My students include more struggling/ESL readers than I have had in the past, so our library has seemed daunting to them so far this year.
These books are just right for independent reading, buddy reading, and to borrow for reading at home.
My hope and expectation is to increase reading stamina through these titles, and to boost them to reading at grade-level by the end of the year!
